< Ezekiel 16 >

1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, ngʼethanĩra na itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu, ũrĩonie mĩtugo yarĩo ĩyo ĩrĩ magigi,
3 and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem: Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was thy father, and thy mother was an Hittite.
uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova areera Jerusalemu: Kĩhumo gĩaku na gũciarwo gwaku cioimanire na bũrũri wa andũ a Kaanani; thoguo aarĩ Mũamori, nake maitũguo aarĩ Mũhiti.
4 And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to cleanse thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
Mũthenya ũrĩa waciarirwo-rĩ, ndwatinirio rũrĩra, o na kana ũgĩthambio na maaĩ nĩguo ũthere, o na kana ũkĩhakwo cumbĩ, kana ũgĩthaywo na nguo cia mwana.
5 None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, for that thy person was abhorred, in the day that thou wast born.
Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wakũrorire, agĩkũiguĩra tha, kana agĩgũcaaĩra o kũigana nĩguo agwĩke ũndũ o na ũmwe wa macio. No rĩrĩ, wateirwo na kũu werũ-inĩ, nĩ ũndũ wamenirwo o mũthenya o ro ũcio waciarirwo.
6 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee weltering in thy blood, I said unto thee, [Though thou art] in thy blood, live; yea, I said unto thee, [Though thou art] in thy blood, live.
“‘Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩndahĩtũkĩire hau warĩ ngĩkuona ũkĩĩgaragaria thakame-inĩ yaku, na rĩrĩa wakomete hau thakame-inĩ yaku-rĩ, ngĩkwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tũũra muoyo!”
7 I caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou didst increase and wax great, and thou attainedst to excellent ornament; thy breasts were fashioned, and thine hair was grown; yet thou wast naked and bare.
Nĩndatũmire ũkũre o ta mũtĩ wa mũgũnda. Nawe ũgĩkũra, ũkĩneneha, o na ũgĩtuĩka ithaga ithaka mũno gũkĩra marĩa mangĩ. Nyondo ciaku nacio ikĩĩhaanda, na njuĩrĩ yaku ĩgĩkũra, o wee ũrĩa warĩ njaga na ũkaaga nguo.
8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.
“‘Thuutha ũcio nĩndahĩtũkĩire hau, na rĩrĩa ndaakũrorire ngĩona atĩ warĩ mũgima wa kwendeka, ngĩgũtambũrũkĩria gĩcũrĩ kĩa nguo yakwa, ngĩhumbĩra njaga yaku. Na niĩ ngĩkwĩhĩtĩra mwĩhĩtwa mũrũmu, na tũkĩgĩa kĩrĩkanĩro nawe, ũgĩtuĩka wakwa, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
“‘Nĩndagũthambirie na maaĩ, ngĩkũgiria thakame, na ngĩkũhaka maguta.
10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with sealskin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and covered thee with silk.
Nĩndakũhumbire nguo ngʼemie na ngĩgwĩkĩra nyamũga cia rũũa. Nĩndakũhumbire nguo njega ya gatani na ngĩkũhumba nguo cia goro.
11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
Nĩndakũgemirie na mathaga: ngĩgwĩkĩra bangiri moko, na mũgathĩ ngingo,
12 And I put a ring upon thy nose, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.
ngĩcooka ngĩgwĩkĩra gĩcũhĩ iniũrũ, na icũhĩ matũ, na tanji thaka mũtwe.
13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper unto royal estate.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ũkĩgemio na thahabu na betha: nacio nguo ciaku ciarĩ cia gatani ĩrĩa njega, na itambaya cia goro, na nguo ngʼemie. Irio ciaku ciarĩ mũtu mũhinyu, na ũũkĩ, na maguta ma mũtamaiyũ. Wee nawe ũgĩthakara mũno na ũkĩambatĩrio ũgĩtuĩka mũthamaki-mũndũ-wa-nja.
14 And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty; for it was perfect through my majesty which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.
Nayo ngumo yaku ĩgĩtheerema ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ nĩ ũndũ wa ũthaka waku, nĩ ũndũ riiri ũrĩa ndaagwĩkĩrĩte nĩwatũmire ũthaka waku wagĩrĩre kũna, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
15 But thou didst trust in thy beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy whoredoms on every one that passed by; his it was.
“‘No rĩrĩ, wee nĩwehokire ũthaka waku, na ũkĩhũthĩra ngumo yaku ĩgĩtũma ũtuĩke mũmaraya. Nĩwahũũrire ũmaraya na mwĩhĩtũkĩri o wothe, naguo ũthaka waku ũgĩtuĩka wake.
16 And thou didst take of thy garments, and madest for thee high places decked with divers colours, and playedst the harlot upon them: [the like things] shall not come, neither shall it be so.
Woire nguo imwe ciaku, ũkĩgemia mahooero ma kũndũ gũtũũgĩru kũrĩa wahũũragĩra ũmaraya. Maũndũ ta macio matiagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩkĩka, kana magĩe kuo o na rĩ.
17 Thou didst also take thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest for thee images of men, and didst play the harlot with them;
Ningĩ ũgĩcooka ũkĩoya mathaga macio mega ndaakũheire, o mathaga macio mathondeketwo na thahabu yakwa na betha yakwa, ũgĩĩthondekera mĩhianano ya arũme, ũgĩcooka ũkĩhũũra ũmaraya nayo.
18 and thou tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them, and didst set mine oil and mine incense before them.
Ningĩ ũkĩoya nguo icio ciaku ciarĩ ngʼemie, ũgĩcihumba mĩhianano ĩyo, ũgĩcooka ũkĩmĩrutĩra maguta makwa na ũbumba.
19 My bread also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou didst even set it before them for a sweet savour, and [thus] it was; saith the Lord GOD.
O nacio irio iria ndaakũheete ũrĩe, nacio nĩ mũtu mũhinyu, na maguta ma mũtamaiyũ, na ũũkĩ, wacirutĩire mĩhianano ĩyo ĩtuĩke ũbumba ũrĩ na mũtararĩko mwega. Ũguo nĩguo gwekĩkire, Mwathani Jehova nĩwe ugĩte ũguo.
20 Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Were thy whoredoms a small matter,
“‘Na rĩrĩ, woire ariũ na aarĩ aku arĩa wanjiarĩire, ũkĩmaruta igongona matuĩke ta irio cia mĩhianano ĩyo. Ũhũũri waku wa ũmaraya-rĩ, kaĩ ũtaarĩ mũiganu?
21 that thou hast slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through [the fire] unto them?
Nĩwathĩnjire ciana ciakwa ũgĩciruta igongona harĩ mĩhianano ĩyo.
22 And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast weltering in thy blood.
Mĩtugo-inĩ yaku yothe ĩrĩ magigi ĩrĩa wekire, na ũhũũri-inĩ waku wa ũmaraya, ndwaririkanire matukũ ma ũnini waku, rĩrĩa warĩ njaga na ũtaarĩ na nguo, o rĩrĩa wegaragaragia thakame-inĩ yaku.
23 And it is come to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord GOD, )
“‘Hĩ, kaĩ ũrĩ na haaro-ĩ! ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. O na wĩkĩte mawaganu macio mangĩ mothe,
24 that thou hast built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee a lofty place in every street.
nĩweyakĩire kĩhumbu, na ũgĩaka ihooero itũũgĩru handũ harĩa hothe haarĩ na kĩhaaro gĩa kũgomanagwo.
25 Thou hast built thy lofty place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty an abomination, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredom.
Gĩturi-inĩ kĩa o njĩra nĩweyakĩire mahooero matũũgĩru, na ũkĩagithia ũthaka waku gĩtĩĩo, ũgakĩrĩrĩria kũneana mwĩrĩ waku kũrĩ mwĩhĩtũkĩri o wothe atharie nawe.
26 Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians, thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast multiplied thy whoredom, to provoke me to anger.
Nĩwahũũrire ũmaraya na andũ a Misiri arĩa mwariganĩtie nao, o acio maiyũrĩtwo nĩ merirĩria ma mwĩrĩ, ũgĩtũma ndakare nĩ ũndũ waku gũkĩrĩrĩria gũtharia.
27 Behold therefore, I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary [food], and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩgũtambũrũkĩria guoko ngĩgũũkĩrĩra, ngĩnyiihia bũrũri waku; nĩndakũneanire moko-inĩ ma thũ ciaku, o acio airĩtu a Afilisti, arĩa maamakirio nĩ mĩtugo yaku ya ũũra-thoni.
28 Thou hast played the harlot also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet thou wast not satisfied.
Nĩwahũũrire ũmaraya na andũ a Ashuri o nao, nĩ ũndũ ndũngĩaiganirie; o na thuutha ũcio-rĩ, ndwaiganirie.
29 Thou hast moreover multiplied thy whoredom in the land of Canaan, unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.
Ningĩ ũgĩkĩrĩrĩria gũtharia o nginya ũgĩkinya Babuloni, bũrũri wa onjoria, no-o na weka ũguo ndwaiganirie.
30 How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman;
“‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, Hĩ! Kaĩ wee ũrĩ wa ngoro hũthũ-ĩ! Wĩkaga maũndũ macio mothe, o ta mũmaraya ũtarĩ thoni!
31 in that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thy lofty place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire.
Rĩrĩa weyakĩire ihumbu gĩturi-inĩ kĩa o njĩra, na ũkĩĩakĩra mahooero matũũgĩru harĩa hothe haarĩ kĩhaaro gĩa kũgomanwo-rĩ, we wetuire ta ũtarĩ mũmaraya, nĩ ũndũ nĩwaregire irĩhi.
32 A wife that committeth adultery! that taketh strangers instead of her husband!
“‘Wee mũtumia ũyũ mũtharia! Wee wendaga ageni handũ ha mũthuuriguo!
33 They give gifts to all harlots: but thou gavest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and bribest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredoms.
Mũmaraya o wothe nĩamũkagĩra irĩhi, no wee-rĩ, nĩwe ũheaga endwa aku othe iheo, ũkamahaka nĩguo mokage kũrĩ we kuuma kũndũ guothe nĩguo megwatĩre ikeno ciaku itaagĩrĩire.
34 And the contrary is in thee from [other] women in thy whoredoms, in that none followeth thee to commit whoredom: and whereas thou givest hire, and no hire is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio wee ndũtariĩ ta arĩa angĩ ũmaraya-inĩ waku; gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkwĩringagĩrĩria ũmwĩtĩkĩre. Wee-rĩ, ũrĩ na ũtiganu mũno na arĩa angĩ, nĩgũkorwo wee nĩwe ũrĩhanaga, no gũtirĩ kĩndũ ũrĩhagwo.
35 Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:
“‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, wee mũmaraya ũyũ, igua kiugo kĩa Jehova!
36 Thus saith the Lord GOD, Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers; and because of all the idols of thy abominations, and for the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them;
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Tondũ nĩwaitangire ũtonga waku, na ũkĩguũria njaga yaku ũgĩtharia na endwa aku, o na tondũ wa mĩhianano ĩyo yothe yaku ĩrĩ magigi, na tondũ nĩwamaheire thakame ya ciana ciaku,
37 therefore behold, I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them against thee on every side, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngũcookanĩrĩria endwa aku othe arĩa wanekenia nao, arĩa wendete o na arĩa ũthũire. Nĩngũmacookanĩrĩria magũũkĩrĩre kuuma mĩena yothe, na niĩ ngũguũrie nguo mbere yao, nao mone njaga yaku yothe.
38 And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring upon thee the blood of fury and jealousy.
Nĩngagũtuĩra ciira o ta ũrĩa andũ-a-nja arĩa matharagia na arĩa maitithagia thakame matuuagĩrwo; na ndũme ũkorwo nĩ mangʼũrĩ makwa na ũiguĩrwo ũiru nĩguo ũcookererwo nĩ thakame ĩyo.
39 I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and break down thy lofty places; and they shall strip thee of thy clothes, and take thy fair jewels: and they shall leave thee naked and bare.
Ningĩ nĩngakũneana moko-inĩ ma endwa aku, nao nĩmakaharagania ihumbu icio ciaku, na manange mahooero macio maku matũũgĩru. Nao nĩmagakũruta nguo, na moe mathaga maku ma goro, magũtige njaga na ũrĩ ũtheri.
40 They shall also bring up an assembly against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.
Nĩmakarehe kĩrĩndĩ gĩgũũkĩrĩre, nao nĩmagakũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto, na magũtinangie na hiũ ciao cia njora.
41 And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women; and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou shalt also give no hire any more.
Nĩmagacina nyũmba ciaku na makũherithie wĩroreirwo nĩ andũ-a-nja aingĩ. Nĩngakinyia ũmaraya waku mũthia, nawe ndũgacooka kũrĩha endwa acio aku.
42 So will I satisfy my fury upon thee, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mathũgũta makwa ma gũgũũkĩrĩra nĩmakahũahũa, namo marakara makwa maiyũrĩtwo nĩ ũiru makweherere. Nĩngahoorera na ndigacooka kũrakara.
43 Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these things; therefore behold, I also will bring thy way upon thine head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit [this] lewdness above all thine abominations.
“‘Na tondũ ndwaririkanire matukũ ma ũnini waku, no kũndakaria wandakaririe na maũndũ macio mothe-rĩ, ti-itherũ nĩngatũma ũcookererwo nĩ ũrĩa wĩkĩte, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga. Githĩ nduongereire ũũra-thoni harĩ maũndũ marĩa mangĩ wĩkaga marĩ magigi?
44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use [this] proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
“‘Mũndũ o wothe waragia na thimo-rĩ, nĩagakuuna thimo ĩno, oige atĩrĩ: “O ta ũrĩa nyina ahaana, no taguo mwarĩ ahaana.”
45 Thou art thy mother’s daughter, that loatheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, which loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
Wee ũrĩ mwarĩ wa nyũkwa kũna, ũrĩa wanyararire mũthuuriwe na ciana ciake; na ũrĩ wa nyina kũna na aarĩ a maitũguo, arĩa maanyararire athuuri ao na ciana ciao. Maitũguo aarĩ Mũhiti, nake thoguo aarĩ Mũamori.
46 And thine elder sister is Samaria, that dwelleth at thy left hand, she and her daughters: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
Mwarĩ wa nyũkwa ũrĩa mũkũrũ aarĩ Samaria ũrĩa watũũraga mwena waku wa gathigathini marĩ na airĩtu ake; nake mwarĩ wa nyũkwa ũrĩa mũnini aarĩ Sodomu, ũrĩa watũũraga mwena waku wa gũthini hamwe na airĩtu ake.
47 Yet hast thou not walked in their ways, nor done after their abominations; but, as [if that were] a very little [thing], thou wast more corrupt than they in all thy ways.
Wee-rĩ, to gũthiĩ wathiire na mĩthiĩre yao na ũkĩrũmĩrĩra mĩtugo yao ĩrĩ magigi, no mĩthiĩre-inĩ yaku yothe nĩwahiũhire gũthũka kũmakĩra.
48 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Niĩ ndũũraga muoyo-rĩ, mwarĩ wa nyũkwa Sodomu na airĩtu ake matiekire ta ũrĩa wee na airĩtu aku mwĩkĩte.
49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom; pride, fulness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
“‘Maya nĩmo maarĩ mehia ma mwarĩ wa nyũkwa Sodomu: We marĩ na airĩtu ake maarĩ andũ etĩĩi, a kwĩhũũnĩrĩria, na matiarũmbũyagia ũhoro wa andũ arĩa angĩ; matiateithirie andũ arĩa athĩĩni o na arĩa abatari.
50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw [good].
Nĩmeĩkĩrĩire na magĩĩka maũndũ marĩ magigi maitho-inĩ makwa. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩndamaingatire, o ta ũguo muonete.
51 Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters by all thine abominations which thou hast done.
Samaria ndehirie nuthu ya mehia marĩa wee wehirie. Wee wĩkĩte maũndũ marĩ magigi maingĩ kũmakĩra, na nĩũtũmĩte aarĩ a maitũguo moneke ta marĩ athingu nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ macio mothe wĩkĩte.
52 Thou also, bear thine own shame, in that thou hast given judgment for thy sisters; through thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.
Ũrokĩrĩrĩria gũconorithio, nĩgũkorwo nĩũtũmĩte aarĩ a maitũguo moneke ta marĩ athingu. Tondũ mehia maku maarĩ mooru gũkĩra mao, o mekuoneka marĩ athingu gũgũkĩra. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, igua thoni na ũconoke, nĩgũkorwo nĩũtũmĩte aarĩ a nyũkwa moneke marĩ athingu.
53 And I will turn again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:
“‘No rĩrĩ, nĩngacookeria Sodomu ũgaacĩru wake marĩ na airĩtu ake, o na Samaria marĩ na airĩtu ake, na nĩngagũcookeria ũgaacĩru waku o hamwe nao,
54 that thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be ashamed because of all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.
nĩguo ũigue thoni na ũconoke nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ macio mothe wekire nĩ ũndũ wa kũmahe ũhurũko.
55 And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, and thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.
Nao aarĩ acio a maitũguo, Sodomu marĩ na airĩtu ake, na Samaria marĩ na airĩtu ake-rĩ, nĩmagacooka o ta ũrĩa maarĩ mbere; nawe ũrĩ na airĩtu aku nĩmũgacooka o ta ũrĩa mwarĩ mbere.
56 For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride;
O na ndũngĩagwetire rĩĩtwa rĩa mwarĩ wa nyũkwa Sodomu mũthenya ũcio wetĩĩaga,
57 before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which do despite unto thee round about.
mbere ya waganu waku kũguũrio. O na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, rĩu ũrĩ mũnyarare nĩ airĩtu a Edomu, marĩ hamwe na andũ othe arĩa mariganĩtie nao, o na nĩ airĩtu a Afilisti, acio othe magũthũire na magakũrigiicĩria na mĩena yothe.
58 Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith the LORD.
Wee nĩwe ũgaacookererwo nĩ maciaro ma ũũra-thoni waku, na ma maũndũ marĩa wĩkaga marĩ magigi, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
59 For thus saith the Lord GOD: I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
“‘Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga: Nĩngagwĩka o ta ũrĩa wagĩrĩire nĩ gwĩkwo, tondũ nĩũmenete mwĩhĩtwa wakwa na ũndũ wa gũthũkia kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu.
60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
No rĩrĩ, nĩngaririkana kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndarĩkanĩire nawe matukũ-inĩ ma ũnini waku, na nĩngahaanda kĩrĩkanĩro giitũ nawe gĩa gũtũũra.
61 Then shalt thou remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder [sisters] and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũkaririkana mĩthiĩre yaku, nawe ũconoke rĩrĩa ũkaamũkĩra aarĩ a maitũguo arĩa akũrũ gũgũkĩra na arĩa anini gũgũkĩra. Nĩngamaneana kũrĩ we marĩ ta aarĩ aku, no ti kũringana na kĩrĩkanĩro giitũ nawe.
62 And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD:
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngahaanda kĩrĩkanĩro giitũ nawe, na nĩũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
63 that thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more, because of thy shame; when I have forgiven thee all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.
Ningĩ rĩrĩa ngaakũhoroheria nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ mothe marĩa wĩkĩte-rĩ, nĩũkaririkana na ũconoke, na ndũgacooka gũtumũra kanua gaku rĩngĩ nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa ũconorithĩtio, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.’”
